This review is from: Intuit Quicken Premier 2016 - Download
Pros: They added a new feature where Quicken can detect when your payee issues a new bill. Includes the amount of the bill and the due date. Very helpful for credit card bills, ATT, etc.
Cons: Seems like the new "Link It Now" feature has problems when the payee's website wants additional verification (send a text message, answer specific questions, etc). The next day after linking several bills Quicken refused to check for updates. It also gives me an error EVERY time I try to add a new bill. Spent an hour online with Quicken support. They claimed they were escalating it but I have heard nothing back..
Other Thoughts: Amazing price. Almost identical to Quicken 2015. The one new feature does not seem to work. I use this program EVERY day !!! I wish Intuit would not sell it off !!!
Just updated my review and took off two stars because the new "Link to Bill" feature does not work !!!
This review is from: Intuit Quicken Premier 2016 - Download
Pros: -Installed without a hitch -Updated the Quicken 2014 data file without issue -Has been trouble free to date
Cons: -Some minor additions over Quicken 2014, but nothing really major for our use -Future status unknown
Other Thoughts: I purchased this when it was on sale at Newegg for a price I could not walk away from. My intent was to wait until the initial bugs were worked out.
The product was initially installed on a laptop that previously did not have Quicken running, along with a copy of my data file. I had read about problems with the data conversion process, and my data file goes back to 2001. I wanted to both try the conversion in a safe environment and test the program for a while before installing it on the two desktops that normally have access to Quicken. The version installed was R3, and it gave me no problems. I updated the data file a couple of times from the 2014 version during the test period, and each conversion was done without incident.
When R4 was released, I updated the laptop, ran in that mode for a couple of days, and satisfied that data handling was fine and stability was good, I then upgraded the two desktops and converted the then current 2014 data file, again without incident.
Overall, the 2016 offers a few things that 2014 didn't have, but other than the credit score I have not tried them. R4 has been stable, and the normal tasks I use on a regular basis are fine.
Had Quicken not been in limbo I may have waited for the 2017 version to upgrade. Before purchasing this product, I also evaluated other alternatives but decided to stick to Quicken. I am not enthused about having our financial data outside of my own firewall and security software ("on the cloud"), so those options are somewhat limited. This upgrade buys me 2 or 3 more years before I have to reconsider that again.
To sum it up, R3 and R4 worked fine, and I am happy with the seamlessness of the upgrade and stability of the program. Quicken adds new functionality slowly, so the fact that I don't see much new relevant to me was pretty much expected. I do not have a problem with that approach. For an application such as this, stability and data integrity are more important to me than a ton of new functions. Quicken gives me what I need and enough flexibility to get reports to keep me happy.
